Liverpool are tying up negotiations with Roma over a deal for Mohamed Salah as the player waits for permission to undergo a medical, which could happen this week.

The Serie A side were pushing for a fee in excess of £40 million, while the Reds had an opening offer of £28m rebuffed, but a compromise is close to being finalised following lengthy talks.

The agreement is understood to be over £35m inclusive of add-ons, with the Egypt international - who has already settled on personal terms - ready to proceed with the rest of the formalities of the transfer once he is given the green light.

Liverpool had opened talks with the Swiss club in October 2013 ahead of a January swoop, but failed to agree terms as Jose Mourinho hijacked the deal by convincing the dynamic forward to join Chelsea instead.
